Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box”

After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.

Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.

“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to do your best and do much better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”

Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”

When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”

1.From the passage, we can learn that ______.

A.Deka was adopted by a refugee family

B.Deka became a professor after graduation

C.Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard

D.Deka spent a lot of time going to parties

2.Deka realized the importance of education ______.

A.after her chemistry class B.from her mother’s experience

C.by reading books in the library D.through working at the institute

3.According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ______.

A.patient B.ambitious

C.confident D.generous

4.What does the story intend to tell us?

A.Life is not all roses. B.Practice makes perfect.

C.Well begun is half done. D.Hard work leads to success.

Born in 1918, in the little town of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, Katherine Johnson was simply attracted by numbers. As a child, she counted everything. She counted the steps to the road, the steps up to church, the number of dishes she washed …By the time she was 10 years old, she was a high school freshman, which was truly amazing in a time when school for African-Americans normally stopped at eighth grade.

Even after NASA began using electronic computers, the astronaut John Glenn requested that she should personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone. My boys were from three months to seven years, and their sister was two.

I cleaned up the kids until they looked brand new, and then put on my best homemade dress. I put them into the old car and drove off to find a job. The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town. No luck.

The last place we went to was now called the Big Wheel, and an old lady named Granny owned the place. Finally she told me she needed someone to work from 11 at night to seven in the morning. She paid 65 cents an hour, and I could start that night. I returned and left the children at home.

Then I left to start my new job at the Big Wheel. As the weeks went by, the tires(轮胎)on the old car began to leak(漏气). I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again every morning before I could go home.

One cold fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat. New tires! There was no note, just those beautiful brand new tires.

Christmas was coming, and I knew there would be no money for toys for the kids. So, I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting some old toys. Then I hid them in the basement so there would be something for Santa to deliver on Christmas morning. Clothes were a worry too. I was sewing patches(补丁)on top of patches on the boys’ pants, and soon they would be too far gone to repair.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Ever tried taking smart drugs to perform better in exams? They certainly work. Before last summer's exam, a few of my mates, merely out of curiosity, took a considerable amount of Modafinil, a drug normally used for narcolepsy(嗜眠发作症). Guess what? While I was feeling sleepy, bored by revision, my mates were more focused.

Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours. It also sharpens the mind, improves memory and helps problem-solving.

But it does more than just keeping you awake. It disturbs your mental system, making you desperate to do what you are doing. You just don't want to do anything else but revise all the time non-stop.

A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs, like Modafinil, to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off, because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs. This might sound like what a stressed student desires. However, the pills have a range of side-effects.

"At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people," as a medical expert puts it, "Ordering online, though easy, is a dangerous way to obtain drugs. You never know what you're actually purchasing. "

In my experience, Modafinil changes people's behaviour too. Over those weeks my friends became different people—in turn aggressive, cold. Even eating became "a waste of time" and so did conversation.

A BBC survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before, 92% would do so again. My friends say they'd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating.

I admit I was curious—but not enough to try it. Seeing the strange behaviour of other users, I feel a little bit upset and scary. Modafinil may promise to change your grades, but it might also change the way you act. Don't say you haven't been warned!

1.According to the author, his mates took Modafinil for the purpose of______.

A．escaping from reality                    B．getting better exam results

C．curing their narcolepsy                   D．leading an active life

2.Taking the smart drug can lead to ______.

A．cheating in the exam                     B．dropping out of school

C．youth crime(犯罪)                       D．drug addiction(上瘾)

3.What does the author think of his mates' taking the smart drugs?

A．Worrying.                             B．Inspiring.

C．Acceptable.                            D．Reasonable.

4.Which statement about Modafinil is wrong?

A．Modafinil sharpens the mind and helps problem-solving.

B．Modafinil more than just keeps you awake.

C．Modafinil has a range of side effects.

D．Modafinil is safe in healthy people.

5.Who are the target readers of this passage?

A．Teachers.         B．Doctors.           C．Scientists.         D．Students.
